## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passengers under the title Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The requirement covers transport for five pupils, with one personal assistant, using a large multi-purpose vehicle. The named route connects Linden Bridge and Tadworth with Worcester Park. The service is a passenger transport contract rather than a vehicle-only supply, and includes a TUPE requirement for transferring staff. Delivery is associated with the Surrey locations identified in the requirement, including Tadworth, Worcester Park and Linden Bridge. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority, and the work is categorised as transport services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Ladysafe and Sons Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The award was made on 10 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £48,760.71. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies Ladysafe and Sons Ltd as the supplier for the full transport requirement. The procurement was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023 legal basis. The available outcome records the selected supplier and contract value but does not set out a scored evaluation breakdown.

This award indicates demand from Surrey County Council for contracted SEND passenger transport on a defined pupil route, combining vehicle provision, passenger support and staff-transfer obligations. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to operate a large MPV, provide safe and reliable transport for five pupils, accommodate a personal assistant, and manage journeys involving Linden Bridge, Tadworth and Worcester Park. Experience of SEND transport and the practical requirements of transporting children would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need the operational capacity to deliver a regular contracted service and the employment capability to handle TUPE transfer arrangements. The completed limited competition shows that this buyer has used a focused, below-threshold route for a small, specific transport requirement rather than a large multi-route framework.
